    not sure what they're using to generate electricity but parts and repair services don't appear over night

    lol

    The other thing about that is, I get the impression that the guys that had the know how on this stuff have aged out; meaning that they didn't have the money for maintenance, but it gets worse, they also didn't replace the guys over time that could do it anyway.  That isn't to say they don't have people that could figure it out, but it is to say it will make it take longer.  One of the things we certainly take for granted is how well trained people are here to deal with these sort of things.

  2. Georgia Overnight take aways:

    1.  Sunday was a bit of muted response, as expected very few polls open.  

    2.  Vote totals move to 1.426 Million about a 50k add from yesterday.  

     

    I will do a more thorough update tomorrow, as more valuable data will be out.  

    I would also point out that middle class struggles at least in part for the past 40 years the Republicans have assaulted taxes on the rich and corporations, meanwhile the middle carries the burden.  So all these programs and what not we "can't afford" have everything to do with the fact that upper crust and major corporations pay near zero.   I know some of you would cry in your cereal every morning if guys like Elmo has to suddenly pay 2 or 3 billion a year in taxes on their 40 billion dollar fortune.  Do that to just the top 1% of 1% and you are well on your way to an additional 1 trillion dollars a year to cover things like debt and programs.  Just saying.

    42k for Georgia today - 36k of that coming from blue counties

    Just shy of 30% of 2020

    Just for reference, in 2020 there were just over 4.9 million votes cast in Georgia.  Of that 4.9 million, approximately 2.3 million voted early.  If Js1 is correct, absolutely no reason to believe he isn't, that would place over 1.4 million votes cast in 2024.  Early voting closes on November 1 here, so in order to cross that number, in the next 11 days, we would need a bit less than 100k per day.  

    On Friday, the last full day of polls being opened across the state, over 300k voted. Saturday polls were only open in major cities and today was only a couple of counties.  I would personally feel more comfortable if we blow by the 2.3 million figure, as the early voting skew is towards the Democratic vote.  However, there are ample indicators that Republicans are not shunning the early vote this year.  

    I wish all of you well beginning to vote tomorrow in Texas.

    This is where I think the psychological part of this shit show is so fascinating. They know he doesn’t look like this. But they project it because it is a projection of their own weakness. I’m not even sure they view him as a real human being that exists. It’s more of an idea that he represents to them. These broken humans conjure what they think a “strong” person is, which is 180 degrees from reality for sane people, and they convince themselves that is who he is. In the end, this is a damning example of how bad America has fucked up over the past 50 years or so. 

    Stalin's favorite actor, who portrayed him was this naturally tall, broad shouldered man, something like 6'2 and 200lbs.  Meanwhile, Stalin himself was a short little ugly man.  This is straight out the narcissistic dictator playbook.

    To be fair, is that good? Bad? Numbers are just social constructs without more! (Sorry it’s halftime and I’m drunk and salty)

    I'll do a break down on numbers once the data dumps hits tomorrow morning (the dump hits between 1 and 5 am local time).  Basically, right now it all points to good news.  We know historically that the early vote heavily favors a Democratic turnout.  The biggest takeaway as of this morning was that women had outvoted men by 130k, which we know is also generally in our favor, and outpaces 2020.  The information that is released is not partisan in nature, i.e., it doesn't distinguish between R, D, or Indy votes.  With that in mind, the best we can do is make educated guesses based on prior history.

    One of the talking heads was thinking resting starters vs A&M would be the play because the title game will be for a bye.

    Obviously, a long way to go, and a lot has to happen, but all this is the unintended by-product of not only league expansion but playoff expansion.

    This is why 12 teams is too many.

    It's a real shame as well, that used to be such a great game, regardless of matchups, with such big implications and now, it may well be relegated to being an also ran.  But if you are undefeated, or assured a top 4 spot, why wouldn't you play your 3rd or 4th string?

    Their QB isn't good. Which isn't entirely his fault - think he's a true frosh.

    They are legit legit on D. Decent OLine and skill position. 

    He's a redshirt, so yeah young.  Will watch the film and kick himself a bit, one way or the other.

    Watching Tenn / Ala game, can't decide which would be tougher matchup for Texas. Feel like it's Alabama, but they have some holes. Tenn too.

    From what I've seen thus far, neither team would give Texas very much.  

    That is to say, anything to overly worry about.  

  10. Well, I'll be the honest one, I physically find Sinema attractive.  However, the second, she started talking I'm sure that would kill any of that sort of feeling.  As a person, she's dogshit, and at least to me, that matters.  

     

     

    But a willing mouth is a willing mouth.
